The best restaurants in Scottish Borders Lowlands

Entered the cafe and smiled at the only person working there (dark haired woman), then asked politely if they are dog friendly. The server was very rude and abrupt with her response, quoting council regulations at me and telling me there are no dog friendly cafes in Jedburgh, except one on the outskirts. Obviously customer service is not her forte! Place looked quite dingy and like it could do with a clean/decorated. Cakes sitting out did not look fresh or appealing. Had the appearance of a cafe in a nursing home or something. Not good.

The Woody is good at being the Woody. It doesn't try to be anything it can't be. It's a 'community pub' ...basic, affordable and wonderfully noisy on a weekend. A friendly non judgemental feel abounds. Contrary to perceived wisdom it is not 'rough' at all, far from it.

Had just the best experience at the Toll House cafe. Really nice food - very tasty leek and potato soup, and a cheese toastie that doesn't scrimp on the cheese and melted perfectly. Plus the owner is very friendly and made the place so welcoming. I was staying at a nearby house catsitting for the weekend and the house's boiler had broken, making me reliant on making a real fire. The owner, Julie, very kindly gave me some firelighters and gave me some other 'real fire' tips (they have a lovely one going in the cafe). Can't recommend it enough, both for the food and the lovely owner. I couldn't get back to report my fire-making success, but I did manage thanks to Julie! Great place.

Great takeaway, really nice tasty food, good sized portions and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. Menu has loads of choice.

I would give it 4 stars but last night's take away terrible not nice I wanted Singapore fried rice I like the noodles to .but when it came it basically was a chicken and ham fried rice with wee drop chillis cut in .not impressed at all cheaper getting chicken and ham rice ive had this from mandarin and it's beautiful got veggies in different meats although I have to ask to miss out prawns yuck.my husband got special curry said the chicken was not nice and his rice was nutty .not happy meals before have been lovely but you pay money you expect better . Won't be back for wee while .

I'm afraid I won't be back. Went to use the facilities and I went into toilets and heard giggling didn't hang around but imagine my dismay when 2 of your cleaners came out of said toilets doing up trousers and straightening themselves up!. Absoloutley disgusting. I've the names of both. To say I'm appalled is an understatement. I came in to shop not witness sex acts. In uniform at the workplace! I'll be informing my friends and family. If this is how you allow your staff to behave! Disgusting if my daughter had been with me and saw that I'd have rang the polis straight away!

Freindly service, nice bar area however the decor needs more pictures on the walls , nachos started with a sprinkle of tastles cheese & shop bought salsa dip , fish & chips was a frozen breaded fish finger & just crap in my opinion, chicken burger was nice & tasty chips.

Popped in for brunch with my family and felt very rushed to order and not giving time to look at the menu. The young woman serving was over within minutes of us sitting down and looking at the menu to see if we were ready to order we said no not yet and she literally came back 30seconds later. I asked for a latte with oatmilk and was told they didn’t do oatmilk despite stating so on the menu,as well as having a latte with oatmilk here before, I was offered soya but just had cows milk instead. The latte itself wasn’t very warm. We also received half of our food order and before bringing the rest of the order served another table. The food itself was alright. We’ve been a few times and had better experiences

With its dark wood furnishings, including a very large gantry, and most of the wall space covered in framed rugby strips, photos etc, the public bar in the Black Swan could almost be described as dark and old fashioned. It can also feel cramped at times as everyone tends to shun the other bar (and rightly so - ‘cos it’s horrible). The public bar is a place where you have a decent chance of meeting some wee, unintelligible drunk bloke (or two) in the corner, but it is also a place where it is easy to strike up conversation with locals at the bar. In many ways the Swan is like a pub from the past and is pretty unique in Kelso. Perhaps that’s why we always come in whenever we visit the town. It is an ordinary, no frills, traditional Scottish pub with good service and good lager and good banter. It suits us perfectly well.

Best coffee stop in Peebles. Brilliant friendly team who always give us a warm welcome. Thankfully doggy friendly too. Although all of this sometimes makes this cosy space hard to get a seat. Great pastry selection and they also provide take away too. See you later The Milkman team!

We had fish and chips, steak pie and a pizza. Used the £10 off voucher given to the holiday makers on the park, and it came to roughly £16. The chips were very good, fish was ok, a little greasy. Pie was ok as was the pizza. The pizzas in the clubhouse look better.

Arrived here to use my free drinks award ,I couldn't get signed on to the WiFi,,the two lovely young girls on Sunday afternoon were a great help to me ,getting me the WiFi code .They were both extremely helpful and courteous,,,I didn't get there names ,but they are definitely an asset to Costa Coffee Hawick .

Really lovely food, great customer service and nice atmosphere when waiting to collect. Highly recommend.

Lovely garden overlooking the Tweed. Staff quite friendly but a bit overworked on the bar.
